Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

The Huangze Baoji Market is full of noise and wildness.

The scorching sun shone on the messy stalls, raising dust.

The streets of Fangshi are paved with potholed bluestone, full of mottled marks of time and wind.

The stalls here are crowded and disorderly, with magic weapons, spiritual materials, and elixirs placed randomly, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

There were cultivators in tattered clothes walking among them, including cultivators with wild temperaments and agile warriors.

Some of them were searching for treasures with solemn expressions, while others were bargaining cautiously. The air was filled with strange smells, the fragrance of elixirs, the aura of spiritual materials, and the spiritual radiance of magic weapons intertwined.

Jue Wujiu leisurely shuttled between the stalls, and his eyes were attracted by some strange and bizarre magic weapons and spiritual materials from time to time.

It has been more than half a month since he escaped from Qingyuan Sect. I believe the Sect Master must have read the letter he left behind.

In order to prevent Liu Xun from sending people to chase him back, Jue Wugui specially boarded a beast ship bound for the wild Wolong Mountains, preparing to take a long detour to Qiyun City so that his own leader would be helpless.

Thinking of the scene of his own master blowing his beard and glaring, Jue Wujiu was actually a little excited. However, since his own master took the elixir and became a golden elixir cultivator, his mentality has changed a lot. He should not be furious when seeing his letter.

Walking in the only market town within a thousand miles where the beast ship was docked, Jue Wugui felt his whole body relax.

How can you form a pill just by staying in the sect? You need to experience more, this is the reasonable way to form a pill.

Thinking of this, Jue Wu Gou chuckled a few times. This behavior seemed a bit silly, but Jue Wu Gou didn't care about it at all.

Suddenly, something on a stall caught his attention.

It was a small ornament with a peculiar shape, emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Jue Wujiu's heart moved, he walked forward, picked up the small ornament and examined it carefully.

"Fellow Daoist, how much is this?" Jue Wu Gou asked.

When the stall owner saw that there was a customer coming, his face immediately became enthusiastic and he said hurriedly:

"Sir, this artifact has a great history! According to legend, in the deep and mysterious mountains, there exists an ancient and mysterious barbarian tribe. This tribe is nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and guards a mysterious place.

This artifact was accidentally obtained by the barbarian tribe from that mysterious land. They regarded it as a sacred object and worshipped it devoutly. It is said that this artifact once emitted a star-like light on a full-moon night, with mysterious runes flickering in the light, as if it contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth and endless mysterious power.

Therefore, at least five hundred low-grade spirit stones are needed to obtain it."

Jue Wu Gou frowned slightly, but a faint smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist, your price is really too high. Even though this artifact has such a mysterious origin, judging from its appearance, although one can detect slight fluctuations in spiritual energy, it is by no means a particularly rare item. Furthermore, the workmanship is only average. In my opinion, this thing is worth at most two hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

The boss hastily defended himself, "Sir, you can't say that. This artifact is a sacred object worshipped by the barbarians and has such a magical legend, so it must be extraordinary.

I spent a lot of effort to get it, and 500 spirit stones is already very cheap. Look at the workmanship carefully, it is so fine, it must be made by a master, I will never lie to you. "

Jue Wu Gou looked at the stall owner's rolling eyes, gently put down the small ornament, shook his head, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, although your workmanship is good, it is not worth 500 spirit stones. I think this thing is worth 150 spirit stones at most. Moreover, I have visited many stalls in this market. Small ornaments like this are generally priced at around 150 spirit stones. If you don't want to sell it, I will go to other stalls to have a look."

After saying this, Jue Wu Gou pretended to leave.

The boss got anxious and said quickly:

"Master, don't go. Let's discuss this. One hundred and fifty spirit stones is indeed a bit low. How about three hundred spirit stones?"

Jue Wu Gou folded his hands in front of his chest and said slowly:

"Fellow Daoist, three hundred spirit stones is still too high. I will offer two hundred spirit stones at most. If you think it's okay, we can make a deal. If not, I will go to other stalls to have a look."

The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, two hundred spirit stones is too low. I am just a small business and can't make much money. How about two hundred and sixty spirit stones?"

Jue Wu Gou said firmly: "No, just two hundred spirit stones, Daoist friend, please don't treat me as a sucker. I just think this thing is a little interesting. If the price is too high, I might as well buy something else."

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and finally the boss said helplessly: "Okay, okay, two hundred spirit stones is two hundred spirit stones, I'll sell it to you."

Jue Wugui smiled with satisfaction and took out two hundred spirit stones and handed them to the boss.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't make random offers in the future."

After saying that, Jue Wu Gou took the small ornament and turned away.

The stall owner looked at his back, suppressed his delight, and muttered to himself:

"What young master of a rich family is here to experience the people's sentiments again? It's my turn to make a fortune today."

After saying this, the stall owner took out another similar magic weapon from below and put it out.

Jue Wujiu was holding the small ornaments he had just bought and was about to continue strolling around the cultivation market.

However, several malicious eyes were already fixed on him.

Just then, a beautiful female cultivator walked towards him gracefully.

She was wearing a lavender dress, her long hair flowed like a waterfall, and her eyes sparkled with a lively light.

The female cultivator had a sweet smile on her face and said softly:

"Sir, what a coincidence! I just saw you bargaining with someone in front of the stall. It was quite interesting."

Jue Wu Gou frowned slightly, and a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart.

He glanced at the female cultivator calmly and said:

"What's the matter with the girl?"

The female cultivator smiled gently and said:

"Why are you so cold, sir? I just feel that I have a connection with you and want to get to know you."

Jue Wu Gu said expressionlessly:

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

The female cultivator refused to give in. She stepped forward to stop Jue Wu Gou and said:

"Sir, please don't be in such a hurry to leave. I'm new to this market and I'm not familiar with many places. Can you give me some pointers?"

Jue Wugui's eyes turned cold and he said:

"Girl, please respect yourself. I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."

After saying this, he pushed the female cultivator away mercilessly and strode away.

The female cultivator looked at Jue Wu Gou's receding back, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look.

She snorted coldly and whispered, "You don't know how to be polite."

Then, she turned and left, communicating secretly with several people in the dark.

Jue Wu Gou frowned slightly and looked down at his outfit again.

The plain robe was neat and simple, without any gorgeous patterns. The belt around his waist was ordinary, and the hairpin was just the most common style. He really couldn't understand how such an outfit could attract other people's attention.

He felt his own cultivation level again, and through special techniques, he successfully suppressed it to the middle stage of Qi Refining. From the outside, he looked no different from an ordinary low-level cultivator.

Jue Wu Gou was confident that such a disguise should allow him to keep a low profile in the market.

However, he didn't know that his lavish move in front of the stall had already caused ripples like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

In order to get that small ornament, he bargained fiercely with the stall owner and finally sold it at a high price of two hundred spirit stones.

But in fact, that little ornament is only worth a dozen low-grade spirit stones.

His generous act undoubtedly made him a piece of fat meat in the eyes of those greedy people in this mixed market of cultivation.

Jue Wu Gou shook his head helplessly, feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart. He thought he was cautious enough, but he didn't expect that he still revealed a flaw inadvertently.

He thought secretly that this place was a mixed bag of people and he had just been targeted. If he continued to stay here, he would probably get into more trouble. Thinking of this, Jue Wu Gou made a decisive decision not to stay here for long.

So Jue Wu Gou found a secluded place, changed his appearance again, and then walked towards the exit of the market. As his figure gradually disappeared among the crowd, only a noisy scene was left behind.

Outside the market town, in a quiet dense forest, the sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.

Jue Wu Gu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression stern, his plain robe fluttering gently in the breeze.

In front of him, five people were bound by dazzling golden blades and could not move.

Two of them exuded the aura of the early stage of foundation building. They were originally full of confidence, thinking that they could easily succeed with their own cultivation, but they did not expect to be so embarrassed at this moment.

The two men had expressions of fear and unwillingness in their eyes. They kept trying to break free from the restraints, but the golden blade was like an indestructible shackle, making all their efforts in vain.

The beautiful female cultivator who had just chatted up someone in the market was also among them. The sweet smile on her face had long disappeared, replaced by fear and panic.

She looked at Jue Wu Gou, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to open her mouth. Her beautiful eyes were filled with fear, as if she saw the shadow of death.

Jue Wu Gou's eyes slowly swept over the five people and said in a cold voice:

"Tell me, why are you following me? Why are you following me?"

The five men looked at each other but remained silent. Jue Wu Gou's eyes became stern, and he raised his right hand slightly and clenched it gently.

Suddenly, the golden blade's restraint was tightened again, and the five people seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand. They groaned in pain and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

One of the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:

"We saw you spending lavishly in the market, so we became greedy and wanted to come and rob you.

The reason they can keep you hooked is that they have spread tracking incense around you, a scent that only the special spirit insects here can smell.

The five of us don't do this kind of thing often, we just do it occasionally, and now that I've fallen into your hands, I accept it!"

Jue Wugui was a little annoyed that he had too little experience, but every failure makes you wiser and he just needs to be more careful next time.

As for the five people in front of me, they capsized because they concealed their cultivation level. Don't blame me for being ruthless.

Then Jue Wugui snorted coldly and said:

"Just for this little greed, you dare to follow me. You really don't know how to live or die."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

This pressure surged towards the five people like a surging tide, making them feel it difficult to breathe and their hearts were filled with fear.

Jue Wu Gou looked at them, thinking in his heart how to deal with them. In this world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. If he was kind and lenient, there would be endless troubles in the future.

Jue Wu Gou looked at the five people in front of him and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

He said coldly:

"Since you did this out of greed, I will give you a chance today. Tell each other about the evil things you have done, and I will kill one of you. If you conceal something or lie, you will all be killed together."
